When your dog's dental health is neglected, there's a significant risk of developing gum disease, which can progress to periodontal disease. If bacteremia occurs, bacteria from the infected gums can enter the bloodstream and spread to other organs, including the heart. Over time, this can damage the heart's structure and function, potentially leading to heart disease. Maintaining your dog's dental health and other health efforts is a vital step in protecting your dog's heart health. Contact us at 778-753-3507 to evaluate your dog's dental health!
